“Over many years as an artist, I have been inspired by the relationship of nature to architecture and the built world around us. I have been particularly excited by the varied ways these structures shape and contain amorphous elements, such as air and water. The rigging of a sail as it captures the wind and the flow of water as it passes through a net or is contained in a vessel are examples of the duality between movement and containment celebrated in my work.”
